When Do We Blow It Up?

I think you could (and should hold out) to get Tari or Jabari in that deal. There's no path to either guy starting together and I don't think they're going to have the cash to pay both guys what they're worth. Big fan of Reed too, he's like exactly crafted to succeed in a 2024 NBA offense.

Reed+Tari or Jabari+3 FRP. There's your starting point.
Reed and Jabari plus two picks
 
the weird thing is in the Draymond interview he said he would love to retire a King. He’s not really a lip service kinda guy, he probably meant it. I’d have to think his preference is to at least see what the front office does and see if we turn it around before asking for a trade. I think some fans don’t want a drama and speculation filled rest of the season and would rather pivot now but that’s also coming on the heels of a 4 game losing streak. Let’s say we trade for John Collins or whoever and Devin Carter comes back and for whatever reason that provides the spark we need, a lot of people will fell different.
This is where I’m at just go for broke who cares what you lose we’ll get it back if we trade fox but not trying is asinine.

Derozan, Lyle’s, a first and second
For
Kuzma and Jonas

Huerter, Keon
For
DFS


Fox/McCaughlin
Monk/Carter
Keegan/Doug
DFS/Kuzma
Sabonis/Jonas

We would have a very solid bench and added size

I think it's more me holding out hope, since we have seen signs over his career that he can be an effective scorer. There's also a big difference if we clear out all these USG guys since he's basically relegated to the HB role this season after taking a USG leap last year. Like, if you took away Fox/DDR/Huerter/Lyles... who the hell is left to shoot the ball? Monk can only fire that thing so often. I don't think he'd hop right into first option USG, but I think he'd be like 20-21%, which is like a 2nd/3rd option type. If he could be comfortable there and shoot how we expect him to shoot; that's how he fully becomes a foundational piece with his defense.
I think we should try everything our power (without giving up any notable) to get Kris on the team. Maybe that’s what could help unlock Keegan. Kris has already fallen out the rotation for the Blazers
